Shape and Function of Solid Objects, Vol. 137: Some Examples
Excerpt from Shape and Function of Solid Objects
This paper analyses the relation between shape and function in a few basic objects various kinds of boxes, buttons, and rings. The basic ontology used in the analysis has already been stu died ia it gives a formal semantics for such concepts as object, action physiml law, etc. By analysing these particular objects in detail, we wish, firstly, to test the adequacy of this ontol ogy in reasoning about shape and action, and, secondly, to determine what geometric predicates are needed in this domain.
